SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, Jade Consulting, LLC, on behalf of the Owner, Michael
Jason Tickle 2020 Trust, for Conditional Annexation to R-1, Low Density Single-Family District for Windrow
Phase 2. The property is located at South Section Street, south of Twin Beech Road and is 20.11± acres.
SITE HISTORY
There have not been any prior Planning Commission or Board of Adjustments cases on this site.
STAFF COMMENTS
The subject site is currently within Baldwin County jurisdiction zoned BCZ, Base County Zoning District. The
Baldwin County Zoning Ordinance is very vague regarding BCZ and does not provide dimensions. BCZ is a
placeholder zoning designation. The subject site mostly abuts other BCZ parcels. The southeastern corner of
subject property is adjacent to Old Battles Village, Ph. 6 , which is a Fairhope zoned PUD. Directly to the west
is Phase 1 of the Windrow SD, which is Fairhope zoned R-1. See below.

ZC 26.07 – Windrow SD Phase 2
August 3, 2026
Page 2 of 6
If conditional annexation is granted the Applicant requests to be zoned R -1. Article III of the City of Fairhope
Zoning Ordinance defines R-1 Districts and addresses lot dimension and allowed Uses as follows:
“R-1 Low Density Single-Family Residential District: This district is intended to provide choices of low-
density suburban residential environment consisting of single -family homes on large parcels of land. It is sub-
classified into four categories (R-1, R-1a, R-1b, and R-1c) based on lot sizes.”
A development plan was not submitted nor required. However, Applicant is proposing 28 single family
residential homes on the subject property. There are 21 lots in Windrow SD, Ph. 1.
Citizen Comments
One (1) letter from a county resident was received. The questions presented in the letter mostly concern issues
that are considered in a subdivision case (i.e. drainage and traffic), which should be forthcoming for this
parcel. The letter is included in the packet.
Wetlands
The Applicant did not submit a wetland delineation with the application . Baldwin County GIS does show a
small area of “potential wetlands” within the eastern half of the parcel that will need to be addressed with any
proposed development. See Exhibits. City regulations are more stringent regarding wetlands and other surface
waters than County regulations. The “potential wetlands” may very well be wetlands per the City’s regulations.
Utilities
Riviera Utilities can provide power. Fairhope Utilities is available for water, sewer, and gas. AT&T can provide
telecommunications.

REZONING CONSIDERATIONS
Standards of Review:
The Zoning Ordinance and its associated zoning map are derived from long-range comprehensive planning
studies intended to promote orderly, desirable development. Casual or unsupported amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance can undermine this purpose. Therefore, rezoning requests are evaluated according to the
following criteria:
1. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan;
2. Compliance with the standards, goals, and intent of this ordinance;
3. The character of the surrounding property, including any pending development activity;
4. Adequacy of public infrastructure to support the proposed development;
5. Impacts on natural resources, including existing conditions and ongoing post-development
conditions;
6. Compliance with other laws and regulations of the City;
7. Compliance with other applicable laws and regulations of other jurisdictions;
8. Impacts on adjacent property including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential physical impacts,
and property values; and
9. Impacts on the surrounding neighborhood including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential physical
impacts, and property values.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends to Planning Commission to recommend APPROVAL of ZC 26.07 – Windrow SD, Phase 2,
conditional annexation with request to rezone property from Baldwin County zoned Base County Zoning (BCZ)
to Fairhope zoned R-1, Low Density Single-Family Residential District.

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REPLACING
ORDINANCE NO. 1817
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHNG IMPACT FEES
ON NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA
Be it ordained by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Fairhope, Alabama (the “City”)
as follows:
Section 1. Findings. In accordance with the Act, the City has been authorized by the
Legislature of the State of Alabama to adopt and impose impact fees on
new development within the City’s corporate limits. In support of the
adoption and imposition of such impact fees, the Council makes the
following findings:
(A) The City is a municipal corporation vested with a portion of the state’s sovereign
power to protect and provide for the public health, safety, and welfare. The City is
authorized to adopt and implement comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances and
other land use regulations to assure its orderly development.
(B) The City is a fast-growing community of over 24,000 full time residents. In
calendar years 2022 - 2023, approximately 1,322 new building permits and
renovation permits were issued.
(C) The City encourages development that will make the City a vital, attractive
community to serve both residents of the City and the substantial and significant
number of visitors who visit the City on a yearly basis.
(D) New residential and nonresidential development, however, imposes increased and
excessive demands upon public facilities. As demand for public facilities has
increased, funding sources for those facilities have decreased at both the state and
federal level. In addition, demand for new facilities necessitated by new
development impairs the ability of the City to maintain existing facilities because

such Impact Fees.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no party entitled to a refund of

appeal. Any Applicant intending to appeal the Calculation of an Impact Fee must file said
appeal in writing with the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days of the last to occur

credit in accordance with the foregoing, the Applicant shall submit its proposal for a credit in
writing to the Building Department. To the extent the City prepares forms for the credit process,
the Applicant shall make its submittal on said City provided forms.

improvement needs for which the particular Impact Fee has been imposed; and (c) whether the
proposed contribution will substitute or otherwise reduce the need for Governmental
Infrastructure anticipated to be provided with Impact Fees otherwise assessable against the
Applicant.
The Impact Fee Committee shall transmit said written findings to the Council along with a
recommendation for whether to accept or decline the Applicant’s offer. The Council shall make
the final determination as to whether to accept the Applicant’s proposed contribution; provided,

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHNG IMPACT FEES
ON NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA
Be it ordained by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Fairhope, Alabama (the "City") as follows:
Section 1.
(A)
(B)
(C) (D) (E) (F)
(G)
(H)
(I)
Findings. In accordance with the Act, the City has been authorized by the
Legislature of the State of Alabama to adopt and impose impact fees on
new development within the City's corporate limits. In support of the
adoption and imposition of such impact fees, the Council makes the
following findings:
The City is a municipal corporation vested with a portion of the state's sovereign power to protect and provide for the public health, safety, and welfare. The City is
authorized to adopt and implement comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances and
other land use n::gulations to assure its orderly development.
The City is a fast-growing community of over 24,000 full time residents. In
calendar years 2022 -2023, approximately 1,322 new building permits and
renovation permits were issued.
The City encourages development that will make the City a vital, attractive
community to serve both residents of the City and the substantial and significant
number of visitors who visit the City on a yearly basis.
New residential and nonresidential development, however, imposes increased and
excessive demands upon public facilities. As demand for public facilities has
increased, funding sources for those facilities have decreased at both the state and
federal level. In addition, demand for· new facilities necessitated by new
development impairs the ability of the City to maintain existing facilities because
funds must be diverted to construction or expansion of new facilities.
The City's current Comprehensive Plan projects that new development will
continue and will place ever-increasing demands on the City to provide public
facilities to serve new development.
Following the adoption of the Act by the Legislature of the State of Alabama, the
City engaged the consulting firm TischlerBise for purposes of preparing an impact
fee study. With input from the City, TischlerBise prepared an "Impact Fee Study"
for the City dated September 9, 2024 (the "Study").
The Study demonstrates the monetary needs of the City in adding the additional
governmental infrastructure necessary to keep pace with the City's growth.
In accordance with Alabama Code § 45-2-243.86, a public meeting during a Work
Session of the City Council was held on October 14, 2024 at City Hall with a
representative of TischlerBise to present the Study to the Council and the public
and to address the City's governmental infrastructure needs as a result of new
development. A public hearing, was held on December 9, 2024 to give the public
the opportunity to provide additional comments.
To the extent that new development places demands upon public facilities, those
demands should be satisfied by shifting the responsibility for financing the
provision of such facilities from the public to the development creating the
demands. 1 Page 55 of 237

in the Act for the adoption of an Impact Fee. The Impact Fee shall be collected and
administered as hereinafter provided.
Section 6. Calculation and Collection of Impact Fees. Impact Fees may be
imposed on New Development or renovation or expansion of existing structures as
defined in Section 8 hereof, and subject to any limitations on the imposition and collection
thereof in the Act. Impact Fees shall be Calculated using either 1 % of the combined
construction and land cost, or per the fees listed in Exhibit A, and the lesser of the two
calculations will apply. Land cost will not be assessed or added to renovation,
expansion, or change in occupancy classification of existing structures. Fees shall be
collected by the Building Department prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for New
Development and in accordance with the Impact Fee Schedule. Except as is hereafter
provided in Section 14 hereof, all Impact Fees shall be paid by an Applicant to the City in
cash or other immediately available funds.
Section 7. No Additional Capacity. No Impact Fee may be assessed for or expended
upon the construction, improvement, operation or maintenance of any Governmental
Infrastructure that does not create additional capacity for use by the general public. The
following shall be exempt from the payment of impact fees:
A.Alteration or expansion of an existing dwelling unit which does not result in any
additional dwelling units or increase in the number of families for which such
dwelling unit is arranged, designed or intended to accommodate for the purposes
of living quarters.
B.The replacement of a building or dwelling unit where no additional square footage
or dwelling units are created and when the existing and replacement or dwelling
unit are located on the same lot. To be eligible for this exemption, official evidence
such as, but not limited to, aerial photos, property surveys, Revenue Commission
property appraiser data, or building permit data must be provided that confirms a
building of equivalent use existed within the parcel boundaries in which the
replacement structure is to be located.

Section 8. Change in Size and Use. An impact fee shall be imposed and calculated for
alteration, expansion or replacement of a building if the alteration, expansion or replacement of
a building results in a use that it is determined to generate greater impact than the present under
the applicable fee rate schedule, Impact fee shall be calculated as follows:
A If the impact fee is based on a per dwelling unit method, the impact fee shall be the
amount due under the applicable impact fee rate schedule, less the calculated impact fee
applicable prior to the alteration, expansion or replacement.
B.If the impact fee is based on the square footage method, the impact fee due for the
increased square footage shall be calculated by determining the impact fee due according
to the square footage resulting from the alteration, expansion or replacement, less the
impact fee that would have been imposed for the original square footage prior to the
alteration, expansion or replacement.
C.All single family residential fees in the fee schedule are based on an assumed 3-bedroom
home. If the replacement structure has an increase in the number of bedrooms or sleeping
rooms as defined by the City of Fairhope Building Code Supplement, any partial impact
fee will be calculated on a percentage basis based on the increased number of sleeping
rooms within the structure.
D.If a building is demolished in preparation of a new structure, a pre-demolition inspection
will be performed to determine the number of sleeping rooms in the existing structure to
establish the baseline for the calculation of any partial impact fee imposed.
E.All changes in use or Occupancy classification as defined by the International Building
•Code will be subject to full impact fees calculated at the new construction fee based of
Occupancy classification. A credit will be given for the calculation of the new
construction fee of the previous building based on Occupancy Classification.
Section 9. Nature oflmpact Fee. An Impact Fee is both a personal liability of the Applicant
and a lien upon the real property upon which the New Development is to be constructed and/or
improved. Said lien may be foreclosed upon in accordance with the procedure for the foreclosure
of real estate mortgages in the State of Alabama.
Section 10. Refund oflmpact Fee. Except as is specifically required by the Act, Impact Fees
are not refundable, unless the applicable Building Permit is voided in writing by the Applicant and
no construction or construction-related activities have taken place. In the event a refund is made
pursuant to the foregoing sentence, a processing fee of five hundred and no/100 dollars ($500.00)
shall be withheld by the City from any such refund.
Section 11. Impact Fee Accounts. The funds collected pursuant to this Ordinance shall be
deposited into the Impact Fee Account. The funds of the Impact Fee Account shall not be
commingled with other funds of the City. The City shall separately account for fees collected for
the Benefit Areas of Parks and Recreation, Fire, Police and Transportation. In the event that less
than the full Impact Fee is assessed for any reason, including, without limitation, any cap on such
fee contained in the Act, said partial Impact Fee shall be allocated to the applicable Benefit Areas
in the same proportion as the full Impact Fee would be allocated to and among the applicable
Benefit Areas.
Section 12. Use of Impact Fees. Impact Fees may be expended only for the Benefit Area for
which they were imposed, calculated, and collected and according to the time limits and procedures
established in this Ordinance and the Act, if any. All impact fees collected for a Benefit Area must
be spent in that Benefit Area. Impact Fees generated by this Ordinance may be used for any
purpose permitted by the Act.
Section 13. Time Limitations on Use of Impact Fees. The City shall expend or contract for
the expenditure of all Impact Fees collected in accordance with this Ordinance within any time
periods set forth in the Act; provided, however, that in the event the Act does not impose any
limitation on the timing of the expenditure of Impact Fees, then the City shall have no obligation to
expend any Impact Fees within any specific period of time. In the event it becomes necessary for
the City to refund any Impact Fees due to the failure to expend or contract for the expenditure of
such Impact Fees within a given period of time as required by the Act, the City shall refund such
Impact Fees to the Applicant who paid such Impact Fees.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no party entitled to a refund of
any Impact Fee hereunder shall be entitled to any interest on said refunded Impact Fee.
Section 14. Appeals. In the event the Building Department and an Applicant are
unable to agree upon the Estimated Fair and Reasonable Value following the appraisal
process set forth in Alabama Code § 45-2-243.84, the Applicant against which an Impact
Fee has been assessed may pay the Impact Fee as Calculated by the Building Department
and preserve the right to appeal the amount of the Impact Fee by submitting with payment a
written statement that payment is made "under protest" or that includes other language that
would notify a reasonable person that the Applicant intends to preserve its right of appeal.
Any Applicant intending to appeal the Calculation of an Impact Fee must file said appeal in
writing with the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days of the last to occur of the
Calculation of the Impact Fee by the Building Department and the payment of the Impact
Fee by the Applicant to the City. In the written appeal provided to the City Clerk by the
Applicant, the Applicant shall set forth enough detail to allow the City to reasonably
determine the basis for the Applicant's appeal. All appeals of Impact Fee assessments shall
be heard by the Council at a regularly held meeting of the Council within thirty (30) days of
the date of the filing of the notice of appeal by the Applicant with the City Clerk. At such
appeal hearing, the Applicant and the City shall have the right to present evidence relative to
the establishment of the Estimated Fair and Reasonable Market Value of a New
Development. In making such presentations, each of the Applicant and the City shall be
limited to fifteen (15) minutes for the presentation of such evidence. Thereafter, a majority
decision by the Council shall be required to overturn the decision of the Building
Department with regard to the Calculation of the applicable Impact Fee.
Section 15. Review oflmpact Fee Structure. The Impact Fee Committee shall report
at least once every three (3) years to the Council with:
(A)recommendations, if any, for amendments to this Ordinance;
(B)proposals identifying capital improvements to be funded in whole or in
part by the Impact Fees collected pursuant to this Ordinance;
(C)proposals for changes to the Impact Fee Schedule.
In connection with the foregoing, the Impact Fee Committee is hereby authorized to engage
such consultants as it deems reasonably necessary to prepare additional impact fee studies
for purposes of arriving at an appropriate and reasonable impact fee rate structure.
Section 16. Credits. An Applicant who offers to dedicate land or otherwise provide
for the funding of Governmental Infrastructure may be eligible for a credit for such
contribution against the Impact Fee otherwise due for that Benefit Area. In the event an
Applicant desires to obtain a credit in accordance with the foregoing, the Applicant shall
submit its proposal for a credit in writing to the Building Department. To the extent the City
prepares forms for the credit process, the Applicant shall make its submittal on said City
provided forms.
Thereafter, the Building Department shall transmit said proposal to the Impact Fee
Committee. The Impact Fee Committee shall make written findings with regard to (a) the
value of the Applicant's proposed contribution; (b) whether the proposed contribution meets
capital improvement needs for which the particular Impact Fee has been imposed; and (c)
whether the proposed contribution will substitute or otherwise reduce the need for
Governmental Infrastructure anticipated to be provided with Impact Fees otherwise
assessable against the Applicant.
The Impact Fee Committee shall transmit said written findings to the Council along with a
recommendation for whether to accept or decline the Applicant's offer. The Council shall
make the final determination as to whether to accept the Applicant's proposed contribution;
provided, however, that in no event shall the credit given to any such Applicant exceed the
amount of the otherwise applicable Impact Fee. 6 Page 60 of 237

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA
TO AUTHORIZE POSTING OF ALL LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS,
ORDINANCES OF A GENERAL OR PERMANENT NATURE, AND
PUBLICATION FOR ALL OTHER CITY NOTIFICATIONS
PURSUANT TO ALABAMA LAW
WHEREAS, Alabama Code § 11-45-8(b)(1) requires the City of Fairhope to publish all
newly enacted ordinances of a general or permanent nature in a newspaper of general
circulation published within the municipality; and
WHEREAS, Alabama Code § 11-52-77 requires advanced notice of all proposed
amendments to the City of Fairhope Zoning Ordinance (No. 1253) to be published in a
newspaper of general circulation published within the municipality; and
WHEREAS, Alabama law requires certain other legal advertisements to be published in a
newspaper of general circulation published within the municipality; and
WHEREAS, both Alabama Code § 11-45-8(b)(1) and Alabama Code § 11-52-77, in
addition to other provisions of Alabama law, authorize publication of the respective

WHEREAS, numerous Alabama Attorney General Opinions, including but not limited to
Ala. Att’y Gen. Op. No. 2011-005, Ala. Att’y Gen. Op. No 2002-198, and Ala. Att’y Gen.
Op. No 1995-0127, authorize the governing body of a municipality, specifically the City

general circulation published within a particular municipality pursuant to Alabama law and
to authorize posting in multiple public places to comply with publication and legal
advertisement requirements; and
WHEREAS, legal advertisement in newspapers has become burdensome, costly, and
inefficient due to the rapid decline of daily print newspapers, the decline of newspaper

publications covering news events for citizens residing within the corporate limits of the City
of Fairhope; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Fairhope has determined that there is no
newspaper of general circulation published within the City of Fairhope and therefore, in

At its meeting on April 21, 2026 the Board of Adjustment approved a Special Exception request to allow
construction of an Automobile Service Station on the subject site.
At its meeting on August 3, 2026 the Planning Commission recommended approval of a request for Site Plan

Zoning Ordinance.
Drainage - COMPLIANT
Drainage for the subject site was addressed in its entirety at the time of MOP approval when the Publix was

All Signage will be formally reviewed at time of sign permit submittal. As a lot with three (3) frontages the
subject site is allowed a total of three (3) building signs and three (3) freestanding signs . However, the
aggregate surface area of ALL permitted signs shall not exceed 50 square feet for the entire site. It should be
noted that gasoline pricing signage is included in the total aggregate signage calculations. Additionally, the
City of Fairhope Sign Ordinance does not allow for canopy signs.
Erosion Control - COMPLIANT
An erosion control plan was submitted with the application and is acceptable.
Utilities - MORE INFO NEEDED
The Utility Plan submitted prior to Planning Commission review was deficient resulting in a number of
comments from Water Utility Staff. After further review and coordination between the Applicant and the City
of Fairhope Utilities Engineer, Mr. Noel Berry, the Applicant has submitted revised plans such that Mr. Berry is
comfortable with the project moving forward conditioned upon all utility plans being revised for full

Page 3 of 9
Lot Access - MORE INFO NEEDED
As proposed, the Site Plan illustrates two access points into the subject site both of which are designed to
provide two-way access to and from Wright Blvd. The Applicant states that two access points are necessary
to allow truck access to the site for fuel delivery and has provided truck route plans demonstrating this (see
exhibits).
In an effort to reduce the overall number of access points along the entirety of Wright Blvd, the Applicant is
proposing that the southern ingress/egress to the site be a shared access with Lot B to the South as illustrated
on the revised site plan. Staff is in support of a shared access plan as long as an overall reduction in the total
number of access points to Wright Blvd is maintained. To ensure a reduce number of access points going
forward, if approved, Staff recommends the Council condition their approval on completion, and provision to
staff, of a shared access agreement between the property owners of Lots A and B prior to submitting any
development permits. This shared access agreement shall require Lot B to be limited to a single access onto
Wright Blvd which shall be satisfied by the shared access between Lot A and B. Additionally, the following
should be required prior to submittal of any development permits; 1) Completion of an Administrative Re-Plat
of Lots A and B illustrating a non-exclusive ingress/egress easement, which once approved by Staff, shall be
recorded in Baldwin County Probate; 2) Inclusion of a note on the Re-Plat stating that Lot B shall be limited to
a single access via the shared access between Lots A and B; and 3) Revision of the final Site Plan to illustrate
the aforementioned easement.
Comprehensive Plan - COMPLIANT
The subject site is in a newly recognized Suburban Mixed-Use Center in the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Impacts on Surrounding Neighborhood - COMPLIANT
As previously stated, the subject site is zoned B-2. Directly adjacent to the site are additional commercial
uses.
Benefits to the Community - COMPLIANT
As the number of residential units being developed in the area continues to grow a commercial retail center
with a variety of retail/restaurant/office/commercial units will be a benefit to the residential subdivisions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• Describe the purpose of the project. Specify the completed project work product and include
a summary of the activities and measures planned to accomplish the project. Include a project
methodology, briefly stating how the project will be conducted, what standards or procedures
will be followed (for example, using state survey forms and procedures, documenting to
National Register standards, following growth strategies minimum standards), and referencing
any previous survey work or National Register listings in the area. Also, state the
role/proposed duties of the local historic preservation commission in the project, such as
conducting the project, reviewing drafts, serving on a project task force, etc. Does the project
relate to previous and/or future planned preservation projects or activities in the community?
Describe the specific results of your project, including any pertinent information about the
format (for example, forms, CDs, written reports, etc.), the number of copies, specific
products to be produced, etc. Be sure to address how the project meets the eligibility
requirements for the project type.
• The following guidance is specific to many of the survey and planning grant project types
(identified in #4). Depending on the project type, please provide the items requested below
and include narrative in your description indicating how the processes and methodologies
discussed here will be adhered during the proposed project. This will strengthen and clarify
your application.
o Historic Resources Survey Projects
A historic resources survey is often the first step a community takes in a
series of preservation activities. A survey is an inventory of historic resources
that includes buildings, structures, sites, and objects. AHC Survey Guidelines
must be followed. It is important to remember that CLGs are required to
maintain a system for survey and inventory of historic properties as part of
their CLG requirements. If your city or county has not completed a recent
update to your historic resources survey (within the past 15 years), what has
prevented this from happening? Does your community have a plan for
maintaining/updating survey data on a regular basis moving forward? How will
the proposed survey project factor into/support this plan and the
community’s system of survey?
Surveys are completed within a pre-defined, contiguous geographic boundary
informed by the goals of the survey. Applications must include a map with
legible street names and an identified, clear cut survey area boundary that can
Page 139 of 237
5
be justified. This justification is typically based on neighborhood limits, or
physical features – such as a river or major highway. If the application
proposes a different approach to survey (such as a thematic survey), please
contact the AHC prior to submission to discuss. Projects may be phased;
however, funding for consecutive grant cycles is not guaranteed. For phased
projects, the number of phases, boundaries, priorities, and overall timeframe
of the project should be carefully planned and presented in the grant
application.
*Historic Resources Survey project applications MUST include the total
estimated number of resources to be surveyed based on tax data, and a map
with survey area boundary clearly identified and legible street names.
Please explain how the project relates to any ongoing, concluding, recurring,
or future projects.
o Archaeological Survey Projects
For further guidance contact the CLG Coordinator.
o National Register Nomination Projects
CLGs are encouraged to apply for HPF funding to support the completion of
a National Register of Historic Places nomination within their jurisdiction.
Those applying for a grant to complete a National Register nomination for a
proposed historic district must submit a copy of a current (dating to within
five years) Historic Resources Survey of the area.
Please explain how the project relates to any ongoing, concluding, recurring,
or future projects.
o Preservation Planning Projects
If you receive funding for historic district design guidelines does your Mayor
and Council, or Board of Commissioners intend to approve the guidelines?
Have your Mayor and Council already designated locally the district that these
design guidelines are intended to be used? If not, why? If designated, when
was the district passed? If you have designated districts, but do not have design
guidelines, what is your HPC presently utilizing to complete the Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) review process? What are you encouraging COA
applicants to use to aid them in the process? If this is an update to your
historic district design guidelines, why has this update not already taken place?
Do you intend to publish your design guidelines on your city or county
website?
Please explain how the project relates to any ongoing, concluding, recurring,
or future projects.
o Information / Education
If information, such as printed, audio/visual, digital/website materials or
workshops/conferences are to be produced during this project, how many
copies will be produced? How will they be used? How widely distributed will
the materials be? Will there be a registration fee for the workshop? For
walking tours— what is the tour route based on? Is the information pulled
from a National Register of Historic Places nomination or a Historic
Resources Survey? Will the tour be made available online? If this project is
successfully completed how do you see it increasing the strength of your
Certified Local Government program? Will this project positively impact
economic development in your city or county through historic preservation?
If so, how? Do you intend to incorporate historic resource survey information
into the project? Do you intend to include information from the National
Register of Historic Places nominations (individual and/or districts), as
appropriate?
Page 140 of 237
6
Do you intend to include underrepresented historic resources as a part of
this project (for example-African American, women’s history, vernacular
architecture, industrial, or mid-century modern)? Do you intend to reach out
to other underrepresented groups as a way to include these resources? If so,
how?
o Predevelopment Projects
Predevelopment projects include architectural plans, feasibility studies,
historic structure reports, and specifications.
Is the property eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places?
Will the project be completed according to the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties?
Provide basic background information of the resource. When was it
constructed? Is it a rare example of a particular architectural style or type?
Is the proposed project appropriate for the resource?
Describe the current condition of the resource and any threats towards the
resource.
o Staffing or Training Projects
Has there ever been a full-time CLG staff person before, or a staff person in
the proposed position? If there is currently staff supporting CLG activities,
please submit their position title and a short description of their duties. What
is the job description of the proposed staff position? How many hours per
week would the staff be working?
What qualifications must the applicant meet for the staff position? Do they
have experience with applying the NPS standards, assisting city boards,
enforcing local ordinances, or working with the public?
If applying for a training grant, what events do commissioners plan to attend?
How many commissioners do you anticipate attending each event? How many
new Commissioners have been appointed to the HPC? Please provide dates
of appointments and estimated costs associated. Do you plan to bring any
training to the HPC? If so, which trainings? Is this application for a single
municipality or multiple municipalities to bring a training to the region?
If training will be attended at a conference, please enter basic information
such as the name of the conference, the organization hosting the conference,
the location, and a description of the conference activities. How many people
is the CLG requesting to attend the conference? Are there any specific topics
that will be covered at the conference that will be useful to the CLG and
HPC? Please submit a conference brochure with your application.
PROJECT NEED
• Briefly describe why CLG funds should be allocated for this project. How will this project support
the mission of the CLG? What need is the project filling? What is the public benefit the project
will provide?
PROJECT SCHEDULE
• The project schedule should be carefully planned so that all project work can be completed by
September 30, 2023. The AHC will have the option to reassign the grant funds to another
grantee if the project does not meet these deadlines. Project work cannot begin until the grant
has been awarded and the agreement is fully executed with all necessary signatures.
• Please see an example of a Project Schedule below for reference on how to assemble a schedule.
Be sure to include dates (these can correspond with quarterly reporting), scope of work being
performed during the time period, and estimated reimbursement request. The estimated
reimbursement request amount should not include the match amount.

PROJECT FUNDING AND SUPPORT
• Public participation should be an integral part of any CLG grant project. Explain how the public
will be involved in the project, how the public will be informed of the project, and/or how the
public information materials produced with the grant will be distributed. Describe the
preservation commission's role in the project. Explain whether the project could be successfully
completed with a partial award and explain if it could be completed without grant funding. If you
wish to demonstrate local support for the project through letters, explain and attach the letters
to the application rather than mailing them separately. Evidence of support is required from the
historic preservation commission and is encouraged from other sources.
GRANT AMOUNT REQUESTED
• Average grant awards from the HPF grant program range from $10,000 to $20,000. Provide the
total project cost, the grant amount requested, and the matching share. Matching share should
be a minimum of 40% of the total project cost. The grant funds must be matched by local, non-
federal funds. The matching funds may consist of cash, indirect costs, donated labor, or donated
materials. At least part of the match is encouraged to be cash, and the applicant is encouraged to
provide as much cash match as possible. Please document the source of match in Question 10,
Project Budget.
• NOTE: HPF grant funds are reimbursable grants. The grant recipient will need a cash
commitment strong enough to keep the project running. Invoices for reimbursement may be
submitted as often as monthly and can be paid upon approval of project work completed. All
Page 142 of 237

Working Waterfront and Greenspace Restoration
Phase II – North Beach Park Improvements
Scope of Work (SOW)
Project Overview:
The City of Fairhope proposes the implementation of the Working Waterfront and Greenspace
Restoration Project, Phase II, consisting of restoration, rehabilitation, enhancement, construction,
and reconstruction activities within North Beach Park, a publicly accessible waterfront park
encompassing approximately 16 acres along the eastern shoreline of Mobile Bay.
North Beach Park contains approximately 1,600 linear feet of natural shoreline, coastal bluff
systems, the Duck Pond, engineered wetlands, recreational facilities, public access amenities,
internal roadways, parking facilities, pedestrian infrastructure, and associated utilities. The park
serves as a regional recreational, environmental, and cultural resource while providing public
access to the City’s waterfront. Existing conditions include aging infrastructure, shoreline and
bluff erosion, sediment accumulation within stormwater treatment features, degraded hydraulic
capacity, water quality concerns, accessibility deficiencies, and increasing vulnerability to
coastal storm impacts and intense rainfall events.
The site includes a highly erodible bluff system exhibiting approximately 32 feet of elevation
change between the upper and lower park. Historic erosion, stormwater runoff, and
redevelopment pressures have contributed to bluff instability and shoreline impacts, making
long-term resilience and resource protection a primary project objective.
The primary purpose of this project is to enhance environmental resilience, improve water
quality, restore ecological function, protect natural resources, improve public access, strengthen
coastal infrastructure, and enhance recreational opportunities while preserving the character and
public use of Fairhope's waterfront.
Project Objectives:
The project shall seek to:
• Improve water quality entering Mobile Bay.
• Restore and enhance wetlands and aquatic resources.
• Improve stormwater treatment, storage, and conveyance.
• Reduce shoreline, bluff, and drainage-related erosion.
• Increase resiliency to coastal storms and extreme rainfall events.
• Protect and enhance habitat for native plant and wildlife species.
• Improve public access to waterfront resources.
• Enhance ADA accessibility throughout the park.
• Improve recreational amenities and visitor experience.

SUBJECT: The City Engineer, Richard Johnson, is requesting to hire a qualified
professional engineering firm to perform beach monitoring at
Magnolia Beach as a condition of the project grant and the US Army
Corp of Engineers permit.
AGENDA
DATE:
September 28, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To approve negotiated not-to-exceed amount of $80,000.00 for three (3) years for RFQ
PS26-036 Coastal Engineering Services for Beach Monitoring - Magnolia Beach and
allow the Mayor to execute a contract with Goodwyn Mills Cawood.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City recently completed the Magnolia Beach shoreline stabilization and
nourishment project, which included construction of an offshore segmented breakwater
system and beach restoration. The project was funded through the Gulf of Mexico
Energy Security Act (GOMESA) program and was designed to provide long-term
shoreline stability, resilient infrastructure protection, and enhanced public recreational
use.
As a condition of the project grant and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, the City is
required to perform three years of post-construction monitoring. GMC Proposal -
Magnolia Beach Monitoring Sep 2 2026 provides a scope of services from Goodwyn
Mills Cawood (GMC), the project's coastal engineering consultant, to complete the
required monitoring program.
The proposed monitoring will include annual beach profile surveys and performance
assessments in 2027, 2028, and 2029. Survey data will document shoreline position,
beach elevations, and sand volume changes, and will be used to prepare annual
monitoring reports required for regulatory compliance. The data will also provide
valuable baseline information for evaluating storm-related damages should future storm
events occur.

RE: Magnolia Beach Monitoring
Dear Richard:
Please consider this letter proposal in response to your request for annual monitoring
services at Magnolia Beach. Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC) has a long history with this
particular site and is particularly well suited to monitor its performance. As the original
authors of Fairhope’s Beach Management Plan, the GMC coastal team understands the
importance of annual monitoring.
As an engineered beach, your infrastructure is eligible for Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) funding as Permanent Work -
Category G: Parks, Recreational, and Other Facilities. This means that the City can
apply for and receive FEMA PA funds to maintain and/or repair the beach following a
named storm event. The funding request must be accompanied by a sound
justification for the damage costs. The damage costs, at a minimum, depend on the
volume of sand eroded during the storm event. The annual monitoring are
supplemented with a post-storm survey to characterize and quantify damages to the
beach.
In accordance with our conversations, we have the following understanding of the
Project Scope and the primary work items requiring our involvement:
PROJECT SCOPE:
GMC will conduct annual beach profile elevation surveys at regular spacing
throughout, and slightly beyond, the 2026 Magnolia Beach project footprint. Elevation
transect locations will be established at locations where prior survey data exist, with
additional transect lines included to increase spatial resolution. Additional transect
locations will be established south of the Magnolia Beach footprint to track the
movement of sand along that shoreline.
For the next three years, annual monitoring surveys would be conducted on or around
June 2027, June 2028, and June 2029. If needed, these surveys will serve as pre-storm
elevation data by which storm damage will be evaluated. Otherwise, these elevation
data will be used to generate an annual beach monitoring report. The report will
contain, at a minimum:
• Description and history of the project
• Low-altitude aerial imagery
• Documentation of shoreline position
Page 169 of 237
2 | P a g e
• Documentation of sand volumes
• Narrative summarizing project performance
• Elevation profile data for each transect including pre-project, post-project,
and annual monitoring data
This initial Scope of Work covers the annual monitoring for a period not to exceed
three years at a total cost of $80,000. Post-event surveys, if needed, would be billed
on an as-needed basis at a cost of $18,500.
A. SCOPE:
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Below is the scope as we understand it:
Phase I – Annual Monitoring
1. Beach Profile Surveys: For the next three years, the GMC team will conduct
annual beach profile elevation surveys at regular spacing throughout, and
slightly beyond, the limits of the 2026 Magnolia Beach project. These
elevation surveys will extend from the top of the bluff, across the beach,
to a point in Mobile Bay that is beyond the depth of closure. The
alongshore extents will be defined by the northernmost structure (just
south of the boat launch) and the Orange Street Pier to the south. Elevation
surveys will be referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988.
2. Aerial Imagery: The GMC team will collect oblique and nadir low altitude
aerial imagery of Magnolia Beach to supplement data collection and assist
in performance assessment.
3. Monitoring Report: The GMC team will prepare annual monitoring reports,
in each of the three years, that document project performance. The
reports will include an assessment of project performance relative to
shoreline position and the retention of sand volumes within the project
footprint.
Phase II – Post-Event Surveys
Post-event surveys, assessments, and FEMA PA submittals will be prepared
as directed by the City at a flat rate of $18,500. This will cover the services
outlined below.
4. Post-Event Assessment: If so directed by the City, the GMC team will
repeat our typical data collection procedures following a named storm
event (when it is safe to return to the site). This will include the beach
profile elevation surveys and collection of low altitude aerial imagery.
These data will be used to characterize storm damage and quantify
repair/replacement costs for the FEMA PA application.
5. FEMA PA Category G Documentation: The GMC team will assist the City
in development of the FEMA PA Category G application materials. This will
include documentation of the storm damage, an estimated cost to repair
Page 170 of 237
3 | P a g e
the damage, and a summary of our methodology used to derive the repair
costs.
B. PROJECT SCHEDULE:
Monitoring surveys and reporting will be performed annually beginning approximately
one year post construction and commence for a period of three years. Annual surveys
and monitoring reports will be delivered in 2027, 2028, and 2029.
C. COMPENSATION:
BASIC SERVICES FEES:
We propose performing the work illustrated above under the “Scope of Services”
section in accordance with the attached cost estimate breakdown.
SERVICES FEES
Phase I $80,000
Phase II $18,500 (as needed)
The basic services fees (Phase I) are lump sum and will be invoiced annually following
completion and transmittal of each monitoring report. Thus, invoices for $26,666.67,
$26,666.67, and $26,666.66 will be issued in 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively. The
extended services (Phase II) will only be billed as directed by the City.
PAYMENT TERMS:
Payment is due 30 days from the invoice date and is considered past-due thereafter.
Past-due invoices will accrue interest at a rate of zero percent (0%) per month.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you over the course of this project, and
trust our proposal is consistent with your expectations. Please feel free to contact me
at your convenience to discuss the terms of this proposal and any questions or
concerns you may have.
Sincerely:
Bret M. Webb, Ph.D., P.E., BC.CE

• Subtotal, $41,000
TOTAL, ESTIMATED QUANTITIES: $204,360
6. COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT
6.1 Basis of compensation
• Compensation is unit priced by work type at the unit prices in Section 5, plus the fixed price items listed there.
• Estimated compensation at the estimated quantities is $204,360. Actual compensation is the sum of actual completed
quantities at the Section 5 unit prices, and it will differ from the estimate in either direction. The estimate is not a lump
sum, a guaranteed maximum, or a not to exceed price.
• Where the City establishes a contract authorization limit, that limit functions as a cap on payment. It is not a
representation of scope or quantity by Gridco, it does not obligate Gridco to perform quantity in excess of the limit,
and it does not obligate the City to pay more than the quantities actually earned.
• If actual or projected quantities would carry compensation above the authorization limit, Gridco will notify the City in
writing and suspend the affected work pending a written amendment. Gridco will not perform unauthorized quantity
and will not absorb quantity above the limit.
6.2 Initial payment
• Ten percent of the estimated total, $20,436, invoiced upon contract execution and completion of the project kickoff
meeting.
• This payment covers mobilization, Azmyth schema configuration and platform setup, crew staging, and pilot circuit
preparation, all of which occur before any billable field quantity exists.
• The initial payment is an advance against work, not an additional fee. It is recovered by crediting ten percent against
each monthly invoice, so that it is fully amortized at the point one hundred percent of contract value has been earned.
6.3 Monthly progress payments
• Invoiced monthly for work completed through the last day of the preceding month.
• Unit priced work is credited as complete when the equipment has been collected, the record is complete, and the
circuit or work batch has passed Gridco internal QA.
◦ Work collected but not yet through QA is not invoiced. This keeps invoiced progress aligned with accepted work and
avoids billing for data that may be revisited under the accuracy provisions of the RFQ.
• Fixed price items are earned as follows:
◦ Project management and QA program, pro rata across the project schedule
◦ GIS compilation and shapefile build, in proportion to circuits delivered and accepted, with twenty percent held until City
acceptance of the complete GIS package
◦ Excel summary workbook, upon delivery
◦ NJUNS audit and reconciliation, upon delivery
• Each invoice is supported by:
◦ Completed quantities by work type and by circuit for the period
◦ Cumulative quantities to date against the Section 5 estimates
◦ Internal QA sign off for every circuit or batch claimed
◦ The ten percent credit line recovering the initial payment
• Payment terms are net thirty days from City receipt of an approved invoice.
6.4 Quantity variance and authorization
• Because quantities are estimates, actual counts will differ from Section 5. Increases and decreases are both settled at
the Section 5 unit prices.
Page 189 of 237
• Gridco will notify the City in writing when any Section 5 line is projected to exceed its estimated quantity by more than
ten percent, and when cumulative earned compensation reaches ninety percent of the contract authorization limit.
• Gridco will not perform quantity above a Section 5 estimate without written City authorization. Unit prices are not
subject to renegotiation on account of quantity variance in either direction.
6.5 Final true up
• The final invoice reconciles all actual quantities against the Section 5 estimates.
• The reconciliation is supported by the delivered field data and GIS record, so the count that drives final payment is the
same count the City receives as a deliverable.
• The final invoice includes:
◦ Adds and deducts by line at the Section 5 unit prices
◦ Any remaining balance of the initial payment credit
◦ Release of the twenty percent GIS holdback upon City acceptance of the complete deliverable package
• Final payment is due following City acceptance of the deliverables and resolution of joint user count disputes.
6.6 Suspension or termination
• If the City suspends or terminates the project, Gridco is paid for all work completed and all data delivered through the
date of suspension, at the Section 5 unit prices.
• Any unrecovered balance of the initial payment is credited against the final amount due, or refunded to the City to the
extent it exceeds that amount.
7. ASSUMPTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
• City furnished items. Pole tags, phase orientation tags, equipment number tags and labels, guy guards, the
equipment numbering convention, the GIS symbol set, the current basemap, and circuit maps.
• Quantities. All counts are estimates drawn from the RFQ and from system characteristics. Overhead device counts in
particular are Gridco estimates and should be replaced with the City's record counts. Billing is at actual.
• Inspection method. Ground based and visual only. No climbing, aerial inspection, excavation, or intrusive testing.
• Corrective work. Limited to guy guard installation. All other deficiencies are documented and reported.
• Not in this scope. Pole integrity testing and condition classification, groundline reinforcement or banding,
preservative treatment or injection, ground wire replacement, utility locates, pole replacement, attachment transfers,
and vegetation work.
• Access. City assistance with private property access, gated areas, and customer notification where required.
• Joint user disputes. Gridco furnishes the count packages and the supporting photographs and field records for each
disputed pole. Sustained dispute resolution beyond that, if it becomes significant, is handled by change order.
